Orthodox Covenant-Breakers

The Orthodox Bahai Faith is apparently a
small split from the “official” Bahai faith. The only difference seems to be
that the splitters had a different idea about who should have succeeded Bahai
leader Shoghi Effendi after his passing away in 1957. The official branch never
appointed another “Guardian of the Faith”, instead creating a collective
leadership centered on the Universal House of Justice. The small Orthodox
split-off argues that their leader Mason Remey is the new Guardian for reasons

excerpts from the writings of Abdul-Baha and Effendi. In my book, groups which
claim exclusive access to God, regard their “administrative order” (read: petty
apparat) to be divinely ordained, and shun “covenant-breakers” are cults, which
in this case probably includes both the Apostate Officials and the Orthodox
